'Violence is a lie' ARMAGH. Nth Ireland — In a World Day of Peace sermon, Cardinal Thomas 0 Fiaich of Armagh said that the pope in his World Day of Peace message had elaborated on the theme he had spoken about at Drogheda in September — that "violence is a lie." "Violence grows in a climate of lies and needs lies to sustain it," Cardinal 0 Fiaich said. "Those engaged in violence try to silence all who do not hold the same views as themselves. " They label them as enemies, traitors or cowards. "They try to convince the world that all the aggression is on the other side: they seek t o discredit those who oppose their actions. " But we must never hesitate, either through fear or propaganda, to call crimes by their proper names. "No matter who the guilty p arty is, or what the circumstances are, murder remains murder and torture remains torture." Cardinal 0 Fiaich said that it was impossible for people in Northern Ireland to wish each other a happy new year without meaning a peaceful new year.

Sinatra Way? Not For Mirrabooka
Catholic parishioners at Mirrabooka are distinctly unhappy with some of the names with which they will be tagged in a new subdivision. congregations at St. They are not amused at the thought that they will be living perhaps in Bing Crescent, Sinatra Way, or Presley Way to name just a few American performers who are being proposed for street names. Catholics are particularly sensitive because the subdivision carrying the names will be just across the road from St. Gerard M ajella church on Mirrabooka Avenue. T here was heavy support for a petition to the City of Stirling that was presented to the
Gerard's church and at the Majella Mass centre. The matter was given prominence in the parish bulletin and all three priests in the parish expressed their reservations at the proposed names and urged the parishioners to express their opinions. Backers of the petition s ay that the State H ousing subdivision should have street names more suitably Australian to identify with existing names in the area such as Balga, Mirrabooka, Dianella and Nollamara.

The new Saint John of God Hospital Subiaco was "topped off' this w eek, marking the end of construction and the beginning of fitting out. Traditional items for the ceremony were not used and, instead, a final pour of concrete was trowelled and a commemorative Plaque fixed to mark the event. T he ceremony was Performed by Subiaco MLA Dr. Tom Dadour representing the Minister
for Health, and Sister Martha Forde, provincial superior of the Sisters of Saint John of God. Progress on the building is on time and the first patient is expected in March next year after commissioning of the hospital in January, 1981.
So far, the seven-storey building, which is part of a $22 million programme. has consumed enough concrete for 400 houses. 127,000 metres of electric cable, 25,000 metres of copper tubing and 2000 metres of airconditioning ducting. Patient capacity of 350 will be approximately the same as before but with increased amenities in single, double and fourbed units each with ensuite facilities. Eight new operating theatres and a range of other service units are part of the new structure a s well as public amenities, a chapel, bank. hairdresser and other s hops in the main concourse.

Appeal to Jewish IA Single mother Catholics to lonely no longer form a community
1
ADELAIDE: This is a story told in talks on the alienated and lonely at a morning session ofthe Diocesan Assembly told by a single mother who wishes to remain anonymous. During the past 10 years I've experienced loneliness in varying degrees. My marriage got off on the wrong foot and, despite my efforts, never found the right one. There is a real loneliness in living a life that's totally different from the way you know it should be.
Doing it all 1
There's immense loneliness in being pregnant and not being able to share all the little joys, fears and hopes with the person who contributed to that yet unbornlife. There's immense loneliness in being the one parent doing all the disciplining, rearing and parenting, while the other enjoys the position of head of the house and takes credit for all the good that's done, yet actually contributes nothing. But the loneliness that was brought on by the intensity of the pain and the desolation felt at the actual break-up of that marriage seems immeasurable, and almost indescribable. Where had Igone wrong? What hadIdone, or not done, that it went so wrong?
The Parents
And my parents. How could Ido this to them? Ihad failed them as well. When all my efforts at salvaging proved of no avail, and the time had come for me to face facts,IfoundIjust couldn't. The future on my own seemed so terrifying and fearful that Icould not contemplate it. I could see all the problems, but could not even get near to solving them. Where couldIgo? There was no money to make a move in any direction, even if I could have seen a way. Ihad to write to my parents. But what could I write and how could I write it, without hurting them deeply? I felt I was the only person in the world who had ever felt such pain, and noone after me would ever suffer as Iwas suffering then. The pain was total.
In low spirits
• .•
My estimation of myself was so low, and my nerves were so tense, that my body reacted with an all-over physical pain. I was humiliated and rejected by the very person to whom I had given myself completely.Ifelt like the dirt under the mat he wiped his feet on. Fortunately for me. circumstances allowed me to meet someone who has since become my dearest friend, because her friendship is so meaningful. She had only recently experienced her own marriage breakdown and under the warmth of her gentle understanding and compassion, I thawed out, calmed down and started taking stock.
Friendship For the first time in seven years I honestly reviewed my marriage to someone, no masks hiding my real feelings any more. I also met an Irish priest, who is so dedicated to the priesthood, and is so totally at one with himself as a priest that he could give me the comfort and consolation I so sorely needed. Unfortunately for me, these people are now thousands of kilometres away from me. Yet their friendship is the most precious of friendships to me. When I finally did write to my parents, encouraged by my new friends, they proved pillars of support and provided me with the means of leaving a totally intolerable situation. That happened three years ago. In those three years loneliness has always been with me. I have a 24-hour unrelieved responsibility of my three children.
Baby Sitting The heaviness of this responsibility sometimes becomes more than a burden, and I become very depressed. Ifailed as a wife. WillIalso fail as a mother? An evening spent at the theatre, or in company of other adults, would provide enough relief for me to return to this task refreshed and renewed with zeal. Yet most of the time Ihave to forego such a simple remedy because of baby-sitting problems. 41.-***-****.***• • •-•••-***-**-**--•÷4.•-•
EitherIcan't find a baby-sitter, orIcan't afford one. Ihave also become well acquainted with depressions and humiliations. For instance, when you need to apply for Social Security benefits: even if you have a good relationship with the department, you cannot help but feel humiliated. Everytime someone asks you if you work, you feel you need to justify your stand on being a mother first and foremost.

Sir, Iam writing on behalf of Father Elias Friedman, Discalced Carmelite, of Stella Mans Carmelite Monastery, Haifa, Israel.
Accommodation and the divorced Accommodation is hard to find when you have children and a severe limit to the amount of rent you can pay. Going through Legal Aid channels is another experience which leaves you feeling as if you've been stripped bare. The divorce courts: cold rooms when in about five minutes a judge encapsules seven years of marriage, declares it over and grants you a decree nisi. But hardest of all to take, is the judgemental attitude of a lot of people to divorce. There's no respectability about divorce. "Nice" people don't get divorced. If you are divorced you can't be a good person; there must be something wrong with you; you failed Society's "norm" is couples. Introductions inevitably lead to: "And what does your husband do?"
Turning Point? My emotional reaction is similar to that of a heavy blow to the stomach as once again Ihave to explain. My physical reaction is slowly improving but I still find that my explanation that I have no husband, because I'm divorced, reduces me to a less acceptable level. This attitude is shared by Catholics and nonCatholics alike. If there is any difference, it would be that Catholics feel this more strongly, because of the influence of Church laws on divorce. At the beginning of this year I felt I'd reached a turning point. The pain was not so insistent any more. I felt I was over it and a certain smugness settled on me. Two things happened to jolt me out of my complacency.

Still vulnerable I went to hospital for minor surgery and I found I was totally unprepared for my reaction when the other three women in the ward were visited by concerned and loving husbands each evening. The other occasion was whenIwas asked to share the experience of my loneliness with the people of my parish in a special programme. I tossed and turned through steepness nights, memories going round and round in my head. Ifound I'm still vulnerable.Idoubt if I'll ever get to a stage where Ican say I'm immune to my memories.

Pope raises Vatican employee's pay
• • • • •
The Vatican's official s pokesman, Father Romeo Panciroli, said that the increases, the first in ten years, were being granted "despite the financial difficulties of the Holy See." The increases are to operate on base salaries, not additional sums such as child endowment, and c ame into effect on January 1. They will be supple mented by a two percent cost-of-living adjustment every three months, to bring the Vatican into line w ith general Italian practice. Pension cheques will increase by 10 percent. The new increases are 50 percent increases on the base salaries established by Pope Paul VI in 1970.

tacking them on top as another cost-of-living or contingency addition, the p ope has given the employees a more solid basis for future increases.
BENEFITS Vatican employees have traditionally been poorly paid, but their salaries are tax-free and they enjoy s pecial commissary benefits on food, liquor and petrol.
Some 3,000 employees will benefit from the raises, as will about 1,000 pensioners. The increases have been in the air for several months, ever since a group of eMployees a ddressed an "open letter" to the -pope complaining of low pay. They may have been hastened by employees' threats to form a union in the tiny city-State.

THE RECORD
Realities for new young potential workers and those on govt. benefits Youth who have just completed their Tertiary Admission Examination and received their results find January a lazy month; it is an in-between time for them.
Some will want to forget that the past year ever happened. Others will be simply relaxing and moping around, telling everyone how much they need a mid-summer rest after such a hard year. Some may be roaming the neighbourhood wtih friends in thongs and bathers just in case the weather calls for an urgent trip to the beach.

FLAGS OF ALL TYPES Holland & Venetian Blinds, Canvas & Aluminiurn Awnings Flyscreens, Tarpaulins
A group of young intellectually handicapped had their first night out in a tent and sleeping bag at a camp run r ecently from Santa Clara's parish, Bentley.
The aim of Daybreak 1980 as seen by the Steering Committee in the Archdiocese of Perth is to re-awaken in the people of God an appreciation of priesthood and religious life as a feature of their faith in Christ and his Church. To achieve this we hope that youth groups will participate in discussions, at the parish centre.
In the party of fifteen people who camped at a parishioner's beach house at Yanchep, there were seven intellectually handicapped boys and girls aged from 12 to 17. 286 ALBANY HWY., VIC.

and the young enter either a hostile, nonbelieving world, or one in which faith is simply 1 ignored. Stripped of earlier social supports, Catholics , today are called to clarify their beliefs and practice of the Gospel in the light of a truly q personal faith, not one derived from, or identified with, the nominal culture of their society. k In this task, the Catholic school has an Iimportant part to play. There are at least three reasons why Catholic schools are vitally necessary today:

• Catholic schools provide quality education % with a religious and moral dimension. Catholic schools endeavour to provide for q their students quality education with a religious and moral dimension.
N
11"Reality" aim
II
In their effort to provide for the full personal development of their pupils — a development embracing the physical, intellectual, social, emotional and spiritual aspects of their nature — k Catholic schools try to provide an education, which encompasses the whole of reality. 1 The Catholic school, in other words, includes within its understanding of education the vital part, which faith in God plays in the lives of ordinary men and women and is concerned with § the awakening, nourishing and developing of this 3 faith. There is, after all, an imbalance in any - education, which explores at great depth the k nature of life, the world and the universe, but is silent concerning their Creator.

1 4 1Religious values 1
Catholic schools are needed today to provide k education, which is permeated by religious and 1 moral values. A mother writing in the columns of a Sydney 2 newspaper expressed this need beautifully as 2 a follows: "I wish my children to receive an integrated 2 education, in which traditional religious wisdom is interwoven with modern knowledge of man 2 and the universe. 2 "I do not want them to have a split personality 2 with their religion in a separate compartment from their secular life."
1 1 a
a a a 3 Common purpose 3
In view of the changes in the family and society' Idescribed above there will be some children whose only experience of faith will be in the k classrooms of Catholic schools. 1 • Identity of Purpose between home, school and 1 Church. 1 Catholic schools strive to provide identity of 1 purpose between the institutions responsible for I I the education of the child — the family, the Church and the school. Where this congruence does not exist, the child will frequently experience at home or at school many of the effects of an alien culture. It makes excellent sociological sense, writes English sociologist Michael Hornsby Smith, to have Catholic children educated in Catholic schools by teachers who support the Christian values of the school.
1
1
Pluralism In view of the pluralism of today's society — W hich so emphasises open-mindedness, relativism and the private nature of religion, that any reference to faith or to the sacred appears redundant — Catholic schools are, I believe, more necessary than ever in the past. Undoubtedly, one reason for the recent growth in enrolments in Catholic schools lies in the fact that parents see these schools as being congruent With family and community values and more 'responsive to parental wishes. • Catholic schools serve the Australian conimunity. Catholic schools, finally, are needed because they serve the Australian community. Democracy, which is based on diversity and difference, not on monolithic uniformity, is served by alternative educational systems to that Provided by the State, so that parents are truly Provided with a choice.
A flourishing Catholic school system, which educates about 18 per cent of all Australian children contributes to the maintenance of a healthy democratic society in this country. The most recent Vatican document on Catholic schools (The Catholic School, 1977) make this point strongly when it states: "The Catholic school has its place in any national school system. By offering such an alternative, the Church wishes to respond to the obvious need for co-operation in a society characterised by cultural pluralism."
I ntegration These goals are considered to be achieved more effectively in such schools than in other ways. These goals involve the religious development of students and preparing them to grow to maturity of faith in God through Christ within the Catholic community. Central to the rationale of Catholic schools has always been the integration of the dimensions of faith and life. The Catholic school must strive to be a "good school" in a genuine educational and academic sense, if it is to be an influence in the faith development of it students. While the title "good school" is a notoriously elusive and value-laden concept, it is one which parents, teachers and students instinctively recognise and apply to certain schools within their experience. We all know one when we see it.
Mission sense The Vatican document "The Catholic School," having said that what "does not reproduce the characteristic features of a school cannot be a Catholic school," goes on to point out that it "would be wrong to consider (school) subjects as mere adjuncts to faith or as a useful means of teaching apologetics." The Catholic school must first be a genuine educational institution, which encourages excellence, the pursuit of learning and the care of the individual student. The Catholic school has also a sense of mission and of corporate responsibility for the application of the Gospel of Jesus, first to its own school environment and then to the wider community which it serves. Nor can the school be indifferent to its witness as a Christian institution — it must positively exert this influence for the good of all peoples.
'Christian' The Catholic school has a particular commitment to justice and peace and to tbe poor and underprivileged members of society. It proclaims that love, respect and service are the foundation stones of the new order created by Jesus Christ. Catholic schools of the future will,I believe, be more "Catholic." There is evidence today in many parts of the world of this "Catholic consciousness." While there is no wish to return to the fortess mentality of an earlier age, there is a strong desire on the part of Catholic people to transmit to future generations what it means to be a Christian in the Catholic tradition. "Moreover, in this way she helps to promote that freedom of teaching, which champions and guarantees freedom of conscience and the parental right to choose the school best suited to parents' educational purposes" (Article 14).
'A synthesis' We are told that towards the end of the second century, a certain Clement of Alexandria directed a small school for boys and young men in that busy, cosmopolitan city at the crossroads of the East. He claimed his school would enable its students to combine the life of an authentic Christian with that of a busy citizen, because it harmonised the faith of the Gospel with the secular learning and culture of the time — which, for Clement, meant Greek literature, science and philosophy. The 1977 Vatican statement on Catholic schools reflects the same viewpoint as this early Father of the Church. It maintains the task of the Catholic school "is fundamentally a synthesis of faith and life."
Faith, accordingly, is at the heart of what a Catholic school is trying to achieve. S uch a school includes within its understanding of education the place of faith in the lives of persons and is involved in the awakening, nourishing and developing of this life of faith. In very general terms, therefore, Catholic schools are involved in: • Life. .Faith. • The integration of faith and life. They endeavour to provide a sound general education, involving the full personal development of students. Catholic schools have, therefore, general educational goals, which they share in common with all schools.
Generalgoals These comprise students' personal and physical development, students' intellectual development and students' social development. As well as providing general education, Catholic schools also have religious goals related to education in faith. The Catholic school has a sense of affiliation with the Catholic Church and it cannot claim to be "Catholic," if it cuts itself off from the Catholic Church and its living traditions and teachings. Indeed, the purpose of a Catholic school is located within the pastoral ministry of the Catholic Church.
Link with Church The Catholic school, therefore, has a distinctly "Catholic" character through its affiliation with, and participation in, the Church's total mission of word, witness and service to mankind. In this connection, an observation of Fr Theodore Hesburgh, prsident of Notre Dame University and one of America's foremost educators, has a special importance today: "If Catholic ... education ceases to be Catholic, it really has no special reason to continue and, in my judgment, will not survive the many crises which face it. If it has no identity or value of its own, why should it survive?" Finally, together with a supportive environment or climate of community, the young desperately need sponsors, or models, of what coherent, committed faith looks like in real life.
Vitalneed In other words, dedicated Catholic teachers, religious and lay, who will struggle with, search alongside and affirm the faith of students, are vitally necessary if the young are to grow in faith. One writer speaks of the influence of such Catholic teachers as follows: "Great teachers have little external history to record. Their lives go over into other lives. God deals with them as we do with candles: not light them for themselves. "These men are pillars in the intimate structure of the school. They are more essential than its stones or its beams. They will continue to be a kindling force and a revealing power."

MILWAUKEE (NC) — A newly appointed auxiliary
bishop has issued a clarification of his position on ministry for women and written to Pope John PaulII b efore his episcopal ordination. Bishop elect Skiba was a member of the task force which submitted a statement on women and priestly ministry to the executive b oard of the Catholic Biblical Association. He said that Press reports concerning a statement he signed on women and priestly ministry "went beyond the exegetical nature of that document." (The Record, December 6).
LETTER The task force said in a New Testament study that women in the time of Christ were involved in ministries now associated with the priesthood and that there is no scriptural obstacle to admitting women priests now. The report was published in the November 21 issue of " Catholic Biblical ' Quarterly." In an effort to clarify his position in the matter, "and t o avoid any further confusion," Bishop-elect Skiba released the text of a letter written to Pope John Paul II on the occasion of his ordination as auxiliary bishop of Milwaukee.
PLEDGE "1 have always viewed my study of sacred scripture as a loving service to the church to whom the risen Lord committed his Gospel as a precious treasure. "I leave the final judgment of the merits of that labour to those wiser and more learned than myself. "I have sought the truth in all things and desire to serve him who is the word of truth incarnate," he wrote. "In accepting the call to the episcopacy I desire to fulfill that ministry in full and lasting communion with the bishop of Rome to whom pledge fidelity. "To that end I accept the teaching of the Holy Father on the question of the ordination of women fully and without reservation."
NO ACTION
Mary, Woman of Faith, is the model and exemplar in her own life of that integration of faith and life, which is at the heart of the endeavours of a Catholic school. Moreover, it was under her guidance and care that Jesus advanced in wisdom, age and grace before God and men. • May teachers in Catholic schools imitate the faith, devotedness and gentleness, with which Mary watched over the divine Child, in order to merit that their students too may grow in faith under their care.

In its statement the task force had concluded, "An examination of the biblical evidence shows the following: that there is positive e vidence in the New Testament that ministries were shared by various groups and that women did in fact exercise roles and functions later associated with priestly ministry; that the arguments against the admission of women to priestly ministry. •-•-*
